Believe that 30 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: David Wilson, who's trying to figure out if one company 31 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: is gonna end up owning all the hotels, is that 32 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: where we're heading. They own the Waldorf for a gazillion dollars. 33 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: And am I right that The latest is that this 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: group may be going after Starwood. Yeah, that's sort of 35 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: how things are shaking out. And there's one war deal 36 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: in the mix as well, Star Wars Hotels and Resorts 37 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: Worldwide's up eight percent in early trading.

We should 44 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: point out. Star Wars already accepted an offer from Marriott 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: International that was back in November.

Thank you. David will greatly appreciate it. 76 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: He's a former chairman of the SEC Bloomberg Helpy board 77 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: member Arthur, I've got to rip up the script and 78 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: being insurance of China's not publicly traded. They have and 79 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: you know you can read an Economist article here, a 80 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg article there all of the incestuous relationships with China 81 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: government officials from where you sit. If they buy the 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: wall door for billions, are they're part of a group 83 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: trying to buy star Wars for billions? How should American 84 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: government or finance react? I think over overjoyed. I think 85 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: the fact that the Chinese choose to find their money 86 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: works better for them in the US than in China 87 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: or elsewhere is a great tribute to our economy. I 88 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: think the government and people of the United States and 89 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: business community should be delighted to have outside investment in 90 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: US assets without a question a sec This week, UM 91 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: Senate Banking Committee going to hold hearings on a couple 92 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: of nominations. We've talked with you over the last week 93 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: or so about how shorthanded the agency is. If you 94 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: were on the banking having been on the other side, 95 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: what would be your job interview question for for the candidates? Well, 96 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: I would ask each candidate how they ranked the three 97 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: major constituents of the sec our markets, US investors in 98 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: corporate finance, which one of those would be their priority 99 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: and my priority? And I believe their priority and every 100 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: chairman's priority, should place investor interests above all others. If 101 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: they don't answer the question that way, where I chairman 102 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: of the Banking Committee, I'd have some reservations. I suspect, however, 103 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: that the present Chairman of the Banking Committee might have 104 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: a different order of preference. Investor interests would be in important, 105 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: but I think he probably would place the other interests 106 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: ahead of investor interests. Could least of Fairfax or Hester 107 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: Pierce been nominated twenty years ago, I doubt it. Twenty 108 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: years ago, they would have been looking for individuals who 109 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: had some background in securities regulations, securities law, academia, rather 110 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: than the polarization that comes from individuals who were wedded 111 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: to one ideology or another. Clearly, each of these new 112 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: commissioners have an ideologic bent, and I suspect this makes 113 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: it very difficult for the Chairman to try to work 114 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: through consensus solutions. That's the secret of a successful commission, 115 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: if they're able to work together. We haven't seen one 116 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: of those in many years. Arthur. I hate to say it, 117 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: but Mike and I actually remember what you say months ago, 118 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: and I want to bring up something that you said 119 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: months ago in the heat of whatever the moment Wasn't 120 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: like folks that can't recall. Arthur Levitt said that the 121 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: turmoil of our politics is good for the system, and 122 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: it gets levened out as we moved through the year 123 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: to the conventions and on. We've had a little bit 124 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: of an adjustment since then, including the absolute Donny Book 125 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: of the last ten days. Can you give our listeners 126 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: confidence that we'll figure this out by the conventions, or 127 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: possibly that we'll figure it out by the first Tuesday 128 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: of November. My long winded answer to that would be no, 129 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: have you, Arthur, I'm honored ask your conment. With your 130 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: father's public service and your public service and whatever anybody's politics, 131 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: where did this come from? I've never seen anything like it. 132 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: The biggest surprise of my life probably was the Bernie 133 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: Madoff scandal. But the Trump emergence has has Trump that 134 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: I can't quite believe that the Donald Trump, whom I've 135 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: met from time to time, is a likely candidate and 136 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: possible winner of the presidency of this country. But we've 137 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: survived up to now, and we've lived with presidents that 138 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: looked great during the conventions and turned out to be inadequate. Uh, 139 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: maybe Trump will represent something different. I think the country 140 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: is strong enough to endure almost any personality in the 141 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: role of president. It's just thank you so much wisdom 142 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: for Barthur Lovett as we looked at this week my 143 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: Arthur loved the former chairman of the SEC with us 144 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: is want to thank you so much.

I don't want to 146 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: get in the politics of it, but the fact is 147 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: it was surreal. There was a point I couldn't keep 148 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: track of whether it was speculation, rumor innuendo, her cold 149 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: heart about the violence, and folks of political did a 150 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: very interesting fact check of a certain presidential candidate um 151 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: and all the things, all the lies he told during 152 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: the past week. I urge people to take a look 153 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: at that. We are trying to give you a perspective 154 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: away from the zaniness of the lack of discourse of it. 155 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: We think Richard hass particularly this morning, for careful discourse 156 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: Agree or disagree futures negative five down features negative time 157 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: now to check in with Michael Barr and get the 158 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: latest world of national headlines.

We 209 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: will get it tomorrow overnight in the In the US, 210 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: John Vale will not be staying up. He'll read about it. 211 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: He'll get the email in the middle of the night. 212 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: He is, of course, chief Global Strategist, Head of Investment 213 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: Strategy Group at Nico Investment Management. So he Uh, he's 214 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: need to keep a very close eye on what happens 215 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: with the Bank of Japan. Bank of Japan. At their 216 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: last meeting on January surprise, well, I would say shocked. 217 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: The markets went to negative interest rates. Didn't work out 218 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: very well. Uh the end, instead of getting weaker, got stronger. 219 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: Banks were very upset because their computer systems weren't set 220 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: up to handle negative interest rates. A lot of criticism. 221 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: Uh for kronasan Um. Does that mean they're much less 222 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: likely to do something like that this time? John? Yeah, 223 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: So now the consensus is that they will do nothing 224 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: this meeting and perhaps wait till April. But you never know. 225 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: With krotosan he does like to surprise the markets, and 226 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: so one cannot give a zero probability of them doing 227 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: anything this time. Maybe it might be as high as 228 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: thirty or fort but they probably would not do anything 229 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: on the negative interest rate front. But constant trade on 230 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: more quantitative purchases instead. Quantitative easing or q q E 231 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: is what they like to call it in Japan. Uh, 232 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: They've been doing it for years now to little effect. 233 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: What more can they do? How is it? How's it 234 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: going to be different. If they did that, well, they 235 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: might concentrate more on corporate bonds, for instance, like the 236 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: ECB has done, and that might lower the borrowing rates 237 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: for corporations and stimulate investment. They also might do more 238 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: on e t F equity e t F s, which 239 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: could pump up the stock market. But you're right that 240 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: there's a a lot of diminishing returns in some cases, 241 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: and additional um QB purchases are not necessarily going to 242 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: change the role of Japan. But we have to remember 243 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: too that Japan is not supposed to be growing at 244 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: two or three percent a year. It was a GDP 245 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: one scent is probably their normal, so we shouldn't expect 246 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: too much. Would you explain to me, and I love 247 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: this language, companies which are proactively making investment in physical 248 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: and human capital. This is economic gobbledygook to say we're 249 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: so desperate we're going to buy equities. The Bank of 250 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: Japan proposes, I'm not sure they've done this. They're gonna 251 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: go out and buy shares of Toyota and bring them 252 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: onto the bank's balance sheet. They've actually been doing that 253 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: for a long time. They hadn't done it for monetary 254 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: policy reasons. But they've been buying equity E t F 255 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine or two dozens have a 256 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: very small amounts and not for monetary they their purpose 257 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: for them buying equity ETFs has all along been just 258 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: a show of confidence, uh, and to try to stimulate 259 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: confidence in the econ me and in the stock market. 260 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: But there's a possibility that they might bump that up 261 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: into more serious mode. I mean, we talked about the 262 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: upward over negative rates and you know, buying corporate bonds. 263 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: I think all of our listeners would find it bizarre 264 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: that part of QUI or q q E or q 265 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: q q E is Sureford chre Yellen to buy shares 266 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: of name the company Amalgamated Steel. It does it does 267 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: seem like Alison Wonderland sort of scenario. Um, even buying 268 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: corporate bonds by e c P was is moving into 269 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: the private sector. I guess you could just say that 270 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: the Fed buying uh you know, Fanny May bonds and 271 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: it's que over the last what is it, uh, seven years, 272 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: is a form of intervention in the private sector. They 273 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: were trying to get mortgage rates down right, But anyway, Um, yes, 274 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: it's possible that equities is the is a new front 275 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: for central banks. I mean, Mike, I don't know how 276 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: to equate equity purchase with all of the variables there 277 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: that we know and love with negative interest rate in 278 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: that debate? Is so Harohica Krota on the same page 279 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: as Abby these days. Yes, I think they're working pretty 280 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: closely together. Um, and they have the same goal, that 281 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: is to stimulate spending, becausumer spending and capital spending. And 282 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: fortunately that they are aligned in that regard. How are 283 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: they doing, I mean, give us an update on real 284 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: and nominal GDP with the Japan I believe I see 285 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: a negative one point one statistic. Yeah, the fourth quarter 286 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: last year was very disappointing, especially consumer spending was to 287 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: have more than three percent annualized in the quarter. So yeah, 288 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: it's a mixed message and they're not happy. Neither of 289 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: those two gentlemen are happy with the way things are going. 290 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: So they do have a pretty big incentive to try 291 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: for more. And um, I guess it's sort of a 292 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: one way street. They're not going to give up. I mean, 293 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm dealing with the chart folks back thirty 294 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: years of the US with a sloping downward real g 295 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: d P. Constructively back twenty years, I can say Japan 296 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: at least is flat, except it's flat at zero point zero. 297 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean the regression back twenty years is a quarterly 298 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: statistic of zero point six, which is barely growth. Right, Um, 299 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: I'd be supposed if it was that low, that's the 300 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: that's phenomena of the real real, that's real. Well, it's 301 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: been slow growth and the truth is not many people 302 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: maybe realized this is that the potential growth as measured 303 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: by the Bank, as you said, under one, it's yeah, 304 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: it's about one or less. So um, with that declining 305 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: population and whatnot, it's uh, it's hard to grow. Let's 306 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: come back John Vale with this with Nico as we 307 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: look at the bankach of and uh a very central 308 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: bank week Bloomberg Surveillance.

I've been dying 339 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: to ask you this question because you're living it with Japan. 340 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: We used to work in a nominal space inflation plus 341 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: real g d P, and then inflation became so big 342 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: and so distorted. Anybody shifted from nominal to real analysis. 343 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: How do you respond to the idea, since there's no 344 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: inflation or little inflation, we should shift back to nominal 345 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: animal spirit inflation plus real GDP analysis, should we? Well, 346 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: if you follow the Japanese example, you should look at 347 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: probably both. I mean, for instance, nominal GDP was running 348 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: about zero for the last twenty years, but real GDP 349 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: was positive, and so both are important because nominal was 350 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: telling you that there was a real problem, but one 351 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: percent real was telling you that the economy is growing 352 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: at basically its potential growth rates. So you have to 353 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: look at both, I think and you're right that have 354 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: to study it very deeply. Did we ever figure out 355 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: who leaked the decision of the Bank of Japan decision? 356 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: Last you know, the report came out in Nika that 357 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: they had discussed negative interest in them. The markets moved 358 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: significantly before the bank announced its planned I have no 359 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: idea about that, but whether whether it's how that happens 360 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: to be honest, does it be interesting to see if 361 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: if that happens again? Uh? It may be a case 362 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: if they do nothing as the consensus of what they say, 363 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: which is what we've gotten into with the FED these days. 364 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: We talked about what they might do, but what might 365 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: Coronas say, Um, particularly if they don't make any policy change, 366 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: how does he move the market by job owning? It's 367 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: tough for him because he hasn't been uh forthright, I 368 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: guess you could say, and the way that he has 369 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: led the market or has uh given guidance, and so 370 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: I think they're looking for action, uh, not words uh 371 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: in terms of potential moves. But he could say he 372 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: could indicate something like as I was discussing before that 373 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: equity purchases for monetary policy reasons, for q q E 374 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: reasons is on the table. He could say something like 375 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: that and that would actually impact I would say that 376 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: the stock market more than anything, but perhaps sentiment in general. 377 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: One of the great things, folks, of the Bloomberg and 378 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: the search engine we have is I can get something 379 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: in my brain and I can find a chart that 380 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: I've never ever once looked at. I just did that. 381 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: I just put it out on Bloomberg Radio plus. Japanese 382 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: employment total employment from the pre boom sixties is a 383 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: straight line up. They had a twenty million forty five 384 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: to sixty whatever that is, million units and basically it's flatline. 385 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: John Vale since almost to mark, it's flatline for twenty 386 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: four years and even declined. Is it flat wine because 387 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: of demographics or is flat wine because of no economic growth? 388 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean the I know the answer is both. But 389 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: if I extrapolate out the previous employment trend, which I 390 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: assume includes a lot of distortions for women, I'm just 391 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: eyeball in this, folks. I'm going to add on conservatively, 392 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: sixteen million bodies is what should have been which never 393 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: occurred because jobs of flatline for twenty four years. Well, yes, 394 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: I'd have to put a demosly too, demographics, And it's 395 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: true that the only reason why that employed number doesn't 396 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: follow more is because more women have entered the labor force. 397 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Japan to large degree was single family earning 398 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,239 Speaker 1: country for quite a while and that shifted now. So 399 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: you're saying the number the chart would be worse. Yes, 400 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: how many years have we seen a female trend and 401 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: employee It's actually only been about me. It's always been 402 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: fairly high um in certain age groups in Japan. It's 403 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: just in the child bury child rearing uh um ages 404 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: for women who was always remarkably low in Japan because 405 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: they did stay at home and uh we're their children. 406 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: But now that age group is starting to push up, 407 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: and because the ABBE and his administration have been trying 408 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: very hard to push this further, to get more women 409 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: of that age group into the labor force by building 410 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: new kindergartens and having more flexible work hours, that sort 411 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 1: of thing. So I guess you could give him credit 412 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: for keeping a thin number of jobs stable in Japan, 413 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: but you've got to see it falling um at some 414 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: point even further, because the unless they change on immigration, 415 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: which I don't think they'll do. Um, it's going to be. 416 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a downward path. That just has to be. 417 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: I'm putting this chart out, Mike. It's a fancy regression 418 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: chart log of employment. Just it's just breath taking to 419 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: see what John would be the possibility that Corona does 420 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: a druggy and throws the kitchen sink at something. Um, 421 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: it's a I think it's small that he would do 422 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: anything on the interst right front because it has, as 423 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned, just caused so much trouble, and it's it's 424 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: not exactly possible to strip out what was caused and 425 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: effect there. I mean, the b o J went to 426 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: negative rates, it's just surprise the market pushed bank shares 427 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: prices down and pushed the stock market down in general 428 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: because they thought that, you know, the b o J 429 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: was panicking. But in the end, um, I think they 430 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: got what they wanted with lower interest rates uh on, 431 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: in the in the bond market. So it's not And 432 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: then of course the fact that the global stock markets 433 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: went down in early February didn't help. For instance, the end, 434 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean the end that's stronger again for many reasons. 435 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: Not just because they were uh negative reaction to the 436 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: b o J policy, But yes, I don't think he'll 437 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: throw the kitchen sink at it at this time. And 438 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: we've got oil prices moving up again, We've got we've 439 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: got some growth in the state's uh picking up again, 440 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: and uh so I doubt that he feels he has 441 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: to do that right now. John l thank you so 442 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: much as you look at b o J. Mike help 443 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: me here, it's tomorrow, which means it's tonight.

We will get sometimes you get 525 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,479 Speaker 1: up at twelve thirty, but usually we get up by 526 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: like one thirty am. And I really thought, Mike that 527 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: today would be just deadly, and instead it has been 528 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: exceptionally interesting. And Ellen Zentner with her shift on what 529 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: do federal to? And it's a no inflation call partitioned 530 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: domestic realities versus trade and energy, and she just flat 531 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: outside of the trade is not going to be there, 532 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: and energy is not gonna be there. That's one call 533 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: and not saying I agree with that. It's this partition. 534 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: Economists have many hands and there are many different views 535 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: on many different aspects of it. They all go into 536 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: making a forecast. Um, then it will be We're gonna 537 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: have to wait and see on that. We don't think 538 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: the Fed is going to do anything, but it's gonna 539 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: be very interesting to see what they say on Wednesday, 540 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: if they're setting us up for a June move or not, 541 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: and whether or not. Uh. Jenny Yellen tries to keep 542 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: open the possibility they could do something in April. There's 543 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: no press conference that nobody ever expects something something on 544 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: him there and the in the history of this folks, 545 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: and we can go anyway you want. But whether it's 546 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: Richard timber Lake of Georgia or a guy named Bernankey 547 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: out of Princeton, Um, it's always be who's the central bank? 548 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: To wait, wait, wait, We shift to the realities around 549 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: the world. Sean Newman joins us with Investco. We think 550 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: Investco for the support Mr Newman looks at emerging market 551 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: he's aged over the last ninety days. Um, how is 552 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: your space? I mean, I know it's a coupon space. 553 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: What what do I get this morning for buying Brazil? 554 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: What's my coupon? When MORET and Tom and my thanks 555 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: for having any program. Well, if you're buying, if you're 556 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: buying Brazil today, you're getting a coupon just over six percent. 557 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: But just let's take a step back. Emerging markets a party, 558 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: then the reason as a whole, which includes Latin America, 559 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: Central American Caribbean, it's coming up a bit of a hangover. 560 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: Believe this is the way to the fall in commodity prices, 561 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: the rebands and China slow credit boards and domestic structure constraints. 562 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 1: And what example of this is Peru where we've seen 563 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: go slow by over half last year and extraange rate 564 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: has depreciated. But over what happens from here now with 565 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: divergence becoming more of a big deal because we have 566 00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: seen the markets reacting different ways we say to what 567 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 1: we might expect. So, um, with emerging markets, what happens 568 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: as we get through this week of very many different 569 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: central bank actions? Great question? So I think what we 570 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: know is that we'll say the phase or domestic demand, 571 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: where do they heavy lifting? Worsting a slowdown and employment 572 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: consumers are spending lessons, They cut back on the purchase 573 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: of importunate items and also in most controlling good ship 574 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: to face in neuralgy, I guess what the parties do well? 575 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: They just can't spend as much as they have in 576 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: the past. Got a positive is the exchange rates are 577 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: no longer fixed, averaging fashness in single digits, and public 578 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: brancies are healthy. When when I look at the emerging 579 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: markets and I see a zillion million people protesting in Brazil, 580 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: there's got to be a huge opportunity within them being 581 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: on the cover of the magazines. How do you determine 582 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: when to buy countries where there's protests, where there's an 583 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 1: emerging market angst In all that, how do you decide 584 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: when the shift to owning their paper? Well, if if 585 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: we take a look at the reason we brought it, 586 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: define it, divide the region into five opportunities. We have 587 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: them fallen angels, especially in the special situations right and 588 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: starts stave land distress. We access them based on overall prospects, 589 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: the health of the sovereign balance sheet structure scores sensitive 590 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: to commodity prices as well as China and the nominization 591 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: of the US monitory policy. So what do we like 592 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: right now? We'll favors some of the rising stars in 593 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: our in that region, Intentional American, the Caribbeans, Jamaica, Crew, Gotamla, Honduras, 594 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: Dominican Republic, Paragua and Panama. You can buy Honduras paper, 595 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: yes we can. And what is the current point? What 596 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: I've never heard that before? What is the coupons fur trade? 597 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,479 Speaker 1: About thirty five basis points wide in Brazil, which would 598 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 1: make it a year about six roughly. What's the what's 599 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: the risk premium in Honduras? The risk on a spread 600 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: of a treasure basis that's about four and basis points 601 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: over comparable tenure. And related to the sovereign's outlook is 602 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: really their commitment to hunting, pursuing the series of pist 603 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: color forms which they've been on tracked for the past 604 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: twelve the twenty four months. But we believe that the 605 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: current government has recently reaffirmed their commitment to remain on 606 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: this past. I would think that the prospects, given their 607 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: strong trail linkages with the US as well as they 608 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: benefit Farmer this law and commodity person Browman that theyre 609 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: they have, you know, tail winds behind them. This is 610 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: the first time, folks, we've done this. I just put 611 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: out on Bloomberg Radio Plus the Honduras four year piece 612 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: eight and three quarters. As Mr Newman said, would you 613 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: like to enjoy Mike a twelve percent capital gain while 614 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: you gathered your eight percent? That's not that's not bad. 615 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: What's the currency risk if I own Honduras? Well, the 616 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: concent is freely floating. So again again, one of the 617 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: things that we like about Emergent Marx right now is 618 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: that exchanges are along the fixed so the currency has 619 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: been the natural mechanism to adjust and absorb the shock 620 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 1: absorber that we've seen as tread balances. I have talked 621 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: to me a, let's talk quickly about Brazil um a 622 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: lot of public anger, big demonstrations over the weekend. Uh, 623 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: what's your read on the likely political outcome and how 624 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: you're investing that now? Well, I think it's going to 625 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: be increasingly difficult for President THEMA to distance herself from 626 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: the lava shot investigation. And we don't beach with serving 627 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: her term as as you mentioned, the massive process this 628 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: weekend and all across the country and even over seventeens 629 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: to do across the world. And we think that this 630 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: would increase pressure on Congress to proceed with impeachment proceedings. 631 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: Nobody that dismissed off as already as me. How did 632 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: you react? Just one final question quickly, how did you 633 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: react with the arrest of Mr Lula? How did you 634 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,720 Speaker 1: react when Mr Lula was arrested. I think that's significant. 635 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: I think it's a testament to the independence of the 636 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: country's institutions. We think this this has sent a crust 637 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: signal that no one is beyond the reach of the law. 638 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: I would think this is going to again, um prevent 639 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 1: Dilmo from bringing Lula into the government, which would prevent 640 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: him from being investigated any further. Thank you so much 641 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: for new when it's with investor as we look at 642 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: interesting stuff, you know, uh in emerging markets, Mike, I 643 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: I think it's just always amazing to get people on 644 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 1: outside the box. Not the bank in Japan, not the Fed, 645 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: not a retirement plans, and you and I are looking 646 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: a sex yere Honduras piece. Never did I think I 647 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: would do that. You know, of all the things we've 648 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: learned today, that may be the most interesting. Eight percent coupon, 649 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: twelve percent capital gating off two years ago. It's held 650 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: up value. I don't know what the currencies, don't have 651 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: to figure that out later, but that's extraordinary. Mike. Lineup 652 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: of Central Pink Ballet this week, and let's go right 653 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: to Janet yelling. In my right, it's a boring meeting, 654 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: but I don't never buy it and never buy it. Well, 655 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be boring there. There could be significant 656 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: um yelling speak that would move markets. Everybody is looking 657 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: for guidance. And of course we get the dot plot, 658 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: a new dot plot for the first time in three months. 659 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: It will be relevant for maybe twenty four hours, and 660 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: people will trade on that. And it's cultural, a code 661 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,479 Speaker 1: of free right. Well, the last one was as well, 662 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: since they don't buy tradition participate at their last meeting. 663 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: But it's more than it's um cashcari involved. Okay, never don't. 664 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: It'll be great. Michael McKee and myself and Scarlet Food 665 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: will give you coverage.
